Verdict

Little has been in good form of late. But this is tougher than the claiming race he won over course and distance in November though he does have the beating of Aqlette. Collateral form brings BANNISTER BELL into the equation and he looks set to make the most of a slide down the weights having finished third here on his latest start. Never Easy and Theydon Thunder are both lightly-raced but the former had a couple of lengths to spare with the latter when runner-up over 7f here recently and is also preferred to Red Stripes.
